I mentioned this in one of the other threads, but just a few days ago I picked up my 2011 Guild GAD F212 from the luthier, who I had install a Baggs Active Element pickup so I could just plug it into a mixer on solo gigs. The luthier was rather impressed by the guitar -- when he first pulled it out of the case, he said "Man, you must love the action on this; it's perfect, especially for a 12 string..." then, after playing it for a few minutes: "I can't believe the bottom end you're getting from this body."
I just grinned. And now it sounds pretty darn good plugged in, as well...
Anyway, here's a new picture of her -- she doesn't look any different from before except that the end pin is now a jack input too, and there's a control just under the lip of the soundhole (and a small bag with a 9 volt battery on the heel plate.)
Anyone else had experience with the GAD Guilds? If this one is any example, the build quality from the China-assembled Guilds is excellent...
